in
her wonderful *Evidence and Inquiry* (the best book in epistemology
since Bonjour and Goldmann) reduces Rorty, Stich,Churchlands,
neopragmatism and a whole host of others to nothing. She argues for an
old fashioned combo of coherence and foundationalism.
I'm not a reducitonist so I don't think that ,even in
principle, neuroscience can give anything of an explanation about
macrophenomena (the economy,history etc.)

Sam,
Just a query, you seem to be persuaded by Haack's reduction yet you claim
not to be a reductionist yourself. How so? Or am I merely perplexing meself
on polysemy?
